Game-Day Ready, Every Day at Rouses Markets

In the NFL, it’s all about hard work and preparation, with teams fighting to rise to the top and claim the championship. At Rouses Markets, we bring that same energy and focus every single day. For us, it’s not just about being ready for game day — it’s about being ready every day.

We call it Grand Opening All Day Every Day. From offering the freshest produce and seafood to making sure every shelf and display look just right, we’re constantly making sure we’re ready for our customers. And there’s always something new to discover — whether it’s a fresh crop from a local farm, an unexpected treat like a new Gentilly cake flavor, or something exclusive from our Rouses Market brand that you won’t find anywhere else. We want you to be amazed every time you step foot into a Rouses Market.

And while we might not host the biggest football game every year, we Mardi Gras! New Orleans is home to the largest, most famous Mardi Gras celebration in America, but across the Gulf Coast, where we operate 66 stores (with more to come), parades feature floats, boats and even golf carts, with each city adding its own unique flair to the festivities.

A Championship Year

2024 was a winning year for us. We were named a top independent grocery store by both Progressive Grocer magazine and Shelby Report, two leading publications in the food and grocery industry. Once again, our customers and readers of over a dozen publications — from Lake Charles, Louisiana, to Orange Beach, Alabama — voted us the best grocery store.

Many parade-goers kick off Fat Tuesday with Rouses Markets fried chicken for breakfast — a tradition we’re proud of. We cook more than a quarter-million pieces of fried chicken during Mardi Gras alone! We also bake over 600,000 king cakes, bringing the sweet taste of Mardi Gras to celebrations across the Gulf Coast (and beyond - we ship, too!). For our bakers, Mardi Gras is their very own Super Bowl, and we're as proud of them as if they'd won the Lombardi. So come see up - we're ready to celebrate with you!
